A thought for those less fortunate...

Joy Division wrote:...than ourselves ,

As we slide into the festive season opening prezzies and roasting dinner may we spare a thought for those who are homeless , hungry and cold.

I'm typing away at the side door and it's extremely windy, wet and cold.
How great it would be if we could heat , shelter and feed everyone of those poor folk, just the look outside makes me shiver and think of the poor souks out there in conditions like that, as not all homeless people live In Homeless units, due to demand outstripping supply.

And also remembering our loved ones no longer here but always in our hearts and minds as well as those now alone.

What a lovely post JD!   

In the future, and this has been discussed between Doug and i...We intend to link up with a homeless charity to provide support and a home for kids that have been thrown out onto the streets..Doug is a survivor from the streets and was in that position himself...I have suggested to him that he could have an advisory and supporting role in that project if he is well enough on a particular day as i think that it would do him good.

..ah cheers Phil

I think that is a brilliant idea with you and Doug with homeless kids Phil :)especially Doug being in that position before, first hand experience can never be beaten Phil, I hope the both of you go ahead with that if that's what you do decide for sure, what a worthwhile thing to do indeed...help misguided and vulnerable youngsters.

God for you phil!

It isn't pie in the Sky either!

My brother is a bank manager and is keen to get out of banking, with RBS...Who could blame him   

His pension is secure and he wants early redundancy, he has been with the bank since leaving school.

...When we sell the house in Spain we will be quite rich, my mother also filled the house with antiques over many years (that was her hobby)

We are going into property development in the North East...He knows of places that are going for about 20K...That is where we will start..I'm going to be doing the admin and i used to be a housing officer as well!

I believe you Phil and I'm sure you did mention before about your brother being a banker, so an appearance by you and Doug is likely on Homes under the Hammer then.

....The only reason that he got relocated to the North East...That was due to the 7/7 London bombing, he was managing the bank where the bus bomb went off.(Tavistock)..He led his staff out through the body parts to safety...He was in a terrible mess for months after that and found it very hard to get onto the underground....Did his head in that did.

Phil, I remember you telling us that on the old sky forums just after it happened. He was lucky and did well in doing what he did.

Merry Xmas.
